I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.
If the ambient temperature is 71⁰C, then no, air conditioning will not work, at least not sufficiently to sustain life or protect batteries.
Fuck, you do realize that 71⁰C is enough to melt your shoes to the pavement right?
